ABSTRACT
Objective: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) represents a serious complication of diabetes mellitus (DM), characterized by the progressive loss of
kidney function. In recent years, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2) has emerged as an innovative therapeutic option to address this complex
condition. This article evaluates and analyzes the effects of HBO2 on key markers of ND, highlighting its clinical implications and future
perspectives.
Material and Methods: The study included patients in stages 3 and 4 of ND and consisted of the administration of 20 sessions
of HBO2 at 2.3 ATA in a hyperbaric chamber. Measurement of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) estimated, glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)
and albumin/creatinine ratio were carried out and clinical stages were stratified before and after treatment with HBO2.
Results: Before starting
treatment with HBO2, patients presented initial values of HbA1c, eGFR, serum creatinine and albuminuria, and the urine albuminuria/creatinine
index of 8.12 ± 0.29 %, 38.68 ± 1.79 ml/min/1.73 m2, 1.85 ± 0.09 mg/dL, 131.47 ± 11.78 mg/l, y 78.74 ± 8.17 mg/g, respectively. After
treatment, the values were 7.2 ± 0.25%, 53.16 ± 2.58 ml/min/ 1.73 m2, 1.47 ± 0.07 mg/dL, 117.56 ± 11.35 mg/l y 82.12 ± 8.52 mg/g, respectively.
Conclusions: HBO2 is emerging as a promising adjuvant therapy for ND, with demonstrated positive effects on key markers and the
potential to improve patient care by providing new hope and approaches in treatment.
